What version of Firefox are you seeing this bug?  Is this a recent bug or something that has regressed since a prior Firefox release?

This problem have I seen as all version of FireFox for MS Windows NT/2000. My latest version of FireFox is Firefox/3.0.13 now.

This is a recent  bug, you will find this bug every time: If you open *.xml - files with special characters => "&#xxx;", like ü = ü , ö = ö and so on.
